Indonesia's Tin Export Value Surges 20% in First Three Quarters of 2025

Significant Growth Driven by Global Price Increase

Indonesia's tin export value has reached US$ 1.16 billion (Rp 19.38 trillion) in the first nine months of 2025, marking a significant 20% increase compared to the US$ 922.1 million recorded during the same period in 2024. According to Harwendro Adityo Dewanto, Chairman of the Indonesian Tin Exporters Association (AETI), this growth was primarily driven by two key factors: increased production levels and rising global tin prices.

Global Tin Price Influence

The average global tin price has been between US$ 30,000 and US$ 34,000 per ton, providing a significant boost to Indonesia's export earnings. The strong global demand and limited supply have contributed to this price increase, benefiting Indonesia as one of the world's major tin producers. The higher prices have directly impacted the country's export revenue, resulting in the substantial growth observed in 2025.

Market Implications

This increase in tin export value demonstrates Indonesia's strong position in the global tin market. The growth is expected to have positive implications for the country's trade balance and overall economic performance. The tin industry plays a crucial role in Indonesia's economy, and the recent surge in export value highlights its importance as a key commodity.
